GRAlNlNG-TOOL.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 273,519, dated March 6, 1883. Application filed October 30,1882. (No model.)

To all whom ti may concern:

Be it known that I. JOSEPH HAMMERL, of Long Island Uity,in the countyof'Queeus and State ofNew York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Graining-Tools; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the inven tion, which will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification, and in which Figure 1 is a plan view of one side of my improved graining-tool, and Fig. 2 is a plan view of the other side of the same.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

in the desired pattern with a comb shaped tool, or the dark paint has been put on in the desired pattern with a flat brush, combed out to corresponding points by a comb shaped tool. The first of these methods involves waste of labor in going twice over the same ground, and waste of paint in first putting an even coat of paint over the wholesurface and then removing it from parts of it. The sec ond method involves use of two t00lS--the brush and the comb-and is not reliable, as

thebrush, in painting, is apt to lose the shape it has been combed out in and make a blurred and indistinct pattern. All this 1 obviate by my device, which I shall now proceed to describe.

In the accompanying drawings, the letterA represents a comb-shaped tool, of any desired material, one side of which is covered by a piece of felt, cloth, or other absorbent material, B, fastened to the comb and serrated at the outer edge corresponding to the teeth of the comb. paint it can be used on the light ground,each point of the serrated edge marking a line.

Having'thus described my invention, I claim When this tool is saturated with and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States- A graining-tool consisting of a comb of suitable shape and size, covered on one side ofits teeth with a pad or piece of bibulous or absorbent textile material, having its lower edge serrated aud and so placed that the outlying cloth covers the extremity of each tooth,'the serrature or notch being between theteeth, substantially as and for the purpose shown and set forth.

In testimony that 1 claim the foregoing as my own I have hereunto affixed my signature in presence of two witnesses.

JOSEPH HAMMERL.
